In the Community Resources team's behavioral expectations for this space, anyone with concerns about a proposal is welcome to express them in a constructive and supportive manner.

1. In what ways do you think this research can support you or other members of the Wikimedia communities in the work that you do on the Wikimedia projects?
- I think this research is very important, even outside the geographical area of the proposal. While working with Indigenous languages in North America, after the initial stages of creating a new Wikipedia (and going through the many obstacles of the Incubator), the Wikidata-powered infoboxes are one of the main requests from the smaller languages communitie in order to develop the Wikipedias in their languages. The results and insights gained from this research will be very helpful in our work with Indigenous languages in North America as well.
2. What advice do you have for the authors to improve their research or the impact of their research? (We encourage you to share with the authors projects or initiatives that you think can benefit from the result of their research. This can help the authors connect their work with ongoing projects in the early stages of their research.)
- Nil.
3. Please share any other feedback about this proposal that you think the Research Fund Committee should consider below.
- I support/endorse this proposal.
Endorsement edit
I think this research is in the right direction looking at how it would focus on Minority languages. Databoxes used in the Incubator helps readers understand what the article entails as it pulls information from Wikidata. I fully support this research daSupremo
